What are wooden greenhouses and how do they cost in Kenya?
Wooden greenhouses are greenhouses whose main framework is made from wood or timber. They are also relatively easy to build, thus making them a good option for small-scale farmers who may not have the budget or resources to build a more complex galvanized steel greenhouse.
However, wooden greenhouses are not as durable as metal or plastic, and they are susceptible to damage from pests and rot.
What are the factors to consider when choosing the type, size and materials for a greenhouse in Kenya?
- The size of the greenhouse: The larger the greenhouse, the more expensive it will be.
- The materials used to construct the greenhouse: Greenhouses made from metal and plastic are more expensive than greenhouses made from wood.
- The features of the greenhouse: Greenhouses with features such as ventilation systems, and irrigation systems are more expensive than greenhouses without these features.
- The location of the greenhouse: Greenhouses in areas with high transportation costs will be more expensive than greenhouses in areas with low transportation costs.
- The type of plants to grow: Generally and structurally, some plants require specialized greenhouses customized to suit their specific needs like seedling greenhouses, strawberry greenhouses, herbs greenhouses and flower greenhouses.

Glass Greenhouse covering
